Your best friend is getting married and you’ve been asked to be the best man or maid of honor. You’re honored but also a bit nervous because you want everything to be perfect, including the bachelor or bachelorette party. Take a deep breath, you can do this. ✓

Once you’ve been given a list of possible locations, dates, and the invite list, you might want to start a group text or email to the invitees to get everyone on the same page regarding costs and expectations.

 Some things to consider and communicate may include: 

• Transportation costs: Plane tickets or carpooling to the destination 🛫
• Accommodation costs: hotel or rental 🏨
• Costs for various activities: brewery/wine tasting, pool cabana, concert tickets, meals, etc. 🍷🎟️

Decide up front what the guest of honor will pay for and what the group will cover. It’s important to get everyone’s input because some may have tighter budgets than others and you don’t want to put anyone in an uncomfortable position. 

And that’s where Zelle® comes in. ✨

As one of the more popular peer-to-peer (P2P) payment options, you might be surprised how many guests already use Zelle®. And those who don’t can most likely enroll through their bank's mobile app with just an email address or U.S. mobile number. It’s that easy. They can now send money directly to your bank account, even if they bank somewhere different than you.* 

As the host, you can easily send payment requests** with Zelle® to others in the group for their share of the costs you’ve already agreed upon. Plus, money sent is available to use in minutes* so you don’t have to worry about covering the full cost of pricey items like a hotel. The bach party is going to be great! 🤩
